Perfect location for downtown and with the free shuttle to and from the
airport made getting here so easy! Also the rooftop view is amazing!!!

I liked that there was a 24 hour resturant located inside the hotel and the rooms were very nice.

This property has been on Booking.com since Mar 29, 2010.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

Disappointing

February 24, 2015

The staff was Sooo rude. I came down from my hotel room to eat at the 24 hour resturant and a man at the front desk started yelling at me like I was a child. I did not get his name but that was so rude. And I also had trouble checking in. I had booked 2 rooms and when I was telling the lady at the front desk she just did not want to help me and told no you only booked one. I even showed her my booking information on my email. She was not helpful at all. So I asked to speak to someone else and he helped me and also found my other room. Overall I was no happy with my stay. I thought my 2 rooms were going to be close together since we were celebrating my birthday & my girlfriends birthday, but they were really far apart. And the staff was just so rude.

I liked that there was a 24 hour resturant located inside the hotel and the rooms were very nice.

Checked in and went to dinner. Came back to room to discover toilet didn't work. Had to use toilet in restaurant on first floor! Embarrassed to go down into restaurant in my pj'so but that was necessary as we couldn't get dressed every time we needed the toilet. Called for repair but no one came by the time we checked out at noon On Saturday. Bad news!

Formerly the St. James, this hotel has vintage touches everywhere you look, including the still-operating elevators which, at one time in the early 1900's, are claimed to have been the fastest in the world. Small, cozy room, comfy bed, ceiling fan, and access to the roof of the building, where you can see huge expanses of the city and beyond. Very close to San Diego's MTS trolley Orange and Blue lines, not far from the Amtrak Santa Fe station, and Balboa Park is less than 2 miles to the north.

Very good

The inconvenience of the old elevator and the noise factor were to be expected for an old city hotel. All OK with me, as a heavy sleeper who can use earplugs if necessary. If bugged by elevator, book room on lower floors so you can walk up and down the stairs if in a hurry.

Location, convenience of 24hr restaurant, staff was great, rooftop views. Always lots of people and activity, which was fun.
